Here I am again with a 60th birthday card for a man. I haven't put embellishments on it only a Vintage tag from Magnolia Stamps. This little guy is also a Magnolia stamp called Edwin. He is the cutest little fellow. They can both be brought at Diana's store. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder called happy Birthday.
I colored this image with distress inks and over the next few months you should see a lot of improvement in my coloring as I am taking Angie Hunts Distress ink classes. You can find the information here.
These classes are fabulous. I have learned so much already. Things that you wouldn't think of doing.

I just found your blog and I wanted to let you know that I love your card. You did a fabulous job on Edwin, he is too cute!
I also wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. I read about your cancer battle and I wanted you to know that I understand how you feel. I also had renal cancer twice and had one kidney removed and part of my other kidney removed. I was lucky, they caught my cancer early so it did not spread. I hope the doctors are wrong and your cancer does not return again. Like I said, you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You,
Sammie Bryant
